ABOUT THE FILM

Walk With Frank is a film about self-discovery, mental health, and one man’s journey towards understanding and embracing his trauma.

Frank was one of the first veterans to be officially diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. For years, doctors had called it “war fatigue,” “shell shock” or “depressive neurosis. ”As the study of PTSD progressed, so did Frank’s understanding of his illness and how to live with it.

Walk With Frank mirrors the evolution of PTSD in our nation’s history as Frank, like many others, struggled for so long to understand the changes that his mind and body was going through.

OFFICIAL TRAILER

“An insightful detailed retrospection of traumatic experiences while clearly illustrating the societal need to begin looking at mental health openly without stigma. Brett Smith, (History Department Toms River North High School, New Jersey)
